You write so beautifully and movingly about your current journey with your mum - I’m glad that you found such an excellent care home for your parents. Seeing our parents so changed can be incredibly hard, but your warmth and caring always come across very clearly. Thank you for sharing and for your honesty - your posts tear the heart, but are also uplifting and in the case of this one, incredibly useful. I wish I’d had it when my dad had the illness. His anger was the hardest thing - something I was not emotionally equipped to deal with.

So so much wisdom here, Jenni. I learned many of these things with my own mother as she declined. She didn't hav dementia but she needed many of these same kindnesses as I walked through her final days with her. Praying for you all.
